Verdict

UPSWING returned to form when finishing third in first time cheekpieces at Kempton last month. The selection has been dropped 3lb for that run and after a couple of disappointing early season efforts in competitive races, he is starting to look well handicapped given he has placed off a 7lb higher mark in the past. Of the other contenders Shanroe Santos carries bottom weight here and the addition of cheekpieces recently has brought about improved performances and he is likely to give the selection most to do while Willoughby Hedge is another to respect assuming the visor works for a second time here.
